G'Day Fella's

Thank You- Con, 9.3, Daryl S and Eagle 27 for your input on this subject, it is very much appreciated.

The main reason that I want to go down this road is, Cause I'd Like Too!
Financial concerns are not a factor in this, although throwing Woodleigh's down range for Non-Safari related practice, would just be a waste of good $ and product. I just like to mess around doing Technical related things.
If I'm going to purchase one mould (404), I'll get the other (416) and cast up both ("Gas Checked" of course, thank you Eagle 27), for a try.

I was just inquiring as to other "Nitro Expressers" existing experience in this field and in particularly, with the 416-404 combination. The ability to run softer Cast bullets at Jacketed Velocities sounds like a bit of all right to me! All though, poor old "Skippy" might not think so!!!

Since first thinking of the above, I have also seen possibilities with Paper Patching > .277 to 7mm, 8mm to .318 AE, .318 AE to .338 and 9.3mm to .375 ???
There are a number of other possible combination's also but......

I've done some looking myself. So for those that may be interested, check out www.castboolits.gunloads.com (Yes, that is how They spell it???), then scroll down to "Paper Patching" then click on and read the bit on "Paper 101" and the others for a very detailed insight into this subject.

Thanks again.
